You wouldn't put it past them to make it happen early though.

Interesting comments from Chris Thomas in Tynwald. The MUA are subsidising business electricity customers by 8 times the amount they are subscribing the general population. Wow. Chairman Rob flapping and getting frustrated that someone would dare to question the preferential treatment received by businesses. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manufacturing companies have probably threatened to leave without subsidies! Isn’t IOM government the biggest consumer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If businesses as what you are suggesting are getting preferential rates at the detriment to General consumers, perhaps their prices should be monitored and made aware if they increase their prices under the guise of increased energy costs. Whilst it is accepted to be true, and can’t be helped, some sectors of our society want their cake, they want to eat it as well, and they want the moon to boot.
